This work-in-progress paper describes preliminary and on-going work in the design and use of an open-source immersive environment (OpenSim) to help mathematics students in secondary schools in Singapore learn about, tinker with, and discuss probabilistically-driven scenarios of the diffusion of virus infection. The environment was designed and developed in April 2020 and is being piloted in three schools in May 2020, with a view to possible scaling in the second half of the year.
